Game Thread PRESEASON GAME# 1: JAZZ @ BLAZERS - OCTOBER 3, 2016 - MONDAY, 7:00 PM (PST), NBATV & CSNNW

[Strenuus]

LMAO!

Moe gets a foul called on him, he hits the basketball support... turns around to the ref and goes "Hey, I do that all the time. All the time." LOL.

 

[KingSpeed]

I expect a "DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT NOW?" thread tonight.

Not necessary.

 

[riverman]

This.

Rice and Calabro would have been amazing.

I'd give them some time to gel before I'd say that.....Mike Rice is an incredible basketball mind but not an incredible broadcaster in my view...he's a guy that would work well with Wheels on the radio though. I like Hurd....I just think he's going to ease into a comfort zone and is probably having a little nervous energy to start out...these guys know they're under the microscope and people liked the Mikes

 

[Strenuus]

Not necessary.

Dangit. Thwarted!

 

[KingSpeed]

Evan Turner just crossed himself 3 times like Catholics do. Is he Catholic?

 

[StumptownHoliday]

Hurd is corny. Rice is real.

I'm also a millennial. Whatever that means.

Does Gen Y suffice? If you were born between the years of 1980 and 2000, you are a member of the generation cohort colloquially known as the millenials. Little lesson for you. Hope you learned.

Your argument is that Mike rice, the drunken old man caricature with legs, is not the corny one?!?! Lolll man oh man that's a bigger stretch than what our 3 point shooting is doing to Utahs defense.

 

[Strenuus]

That camera angle on that Dame layup... Grooosssssss.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

I like Grant Jarrett because he helps my Blazers name chain:

Brian Grant Jarrett Jack Ramsey!

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Hurd is trying hard but I like him a lot

No.

 

[0-Our!]

Napier looks better than any Jazz PG

I've seen him play quite a bit w/ the Heat & today (I know it's just preseason but...)... he's EASILY played his best, most confident (& calm), & most controlled game of his young NBA career (MUCH more to come!).

 

[Strenuus]

Hurd is trying hard but I like him a lot

He'll ease into it... both of them.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

He'll ease into it... both of them.

I love Calabro's voice and delivery. Old school.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

I love Calabro's voice and delivery. Old school.

Me too.

 

[Strenuus]

I love Calabro's voice and delivery. Old school.

Me too!

 

[Driew]

"Only because of the The Deeeeeee" haha

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Me too.

Reminds me of the Beavers radio guy. I always wanted that kind of voice for a team I liked.

I know what millennial means. I just don't get what that has to do with anything.

 

[Strenuus]

That dame layup though!!

 

[illmatic99]

This is why i dont buy the Utah hype. Their offense is garbage

 

[LuckyShot]

Couple of sweet finishes by Dame.

 

[HailBlazers]

Take Lillard out, Mic DROP!

 

[Strenuus]

My lord Harkless that was sick.

 

[LuckyShot]

Harkless has such a beautiful spin move off the dribble.

 

[riverman]

No.

yes

 

[Scalma]

Harkless man

 

[Strenuus]

Hurd called it.

"Mo Harkless. Mo Problems." I love it!

 

[LuckyShot]

I wonder how Dame's foot is feeling. I haven't been following as closely lately. Seems a bit more explosive.

 

[StumptownHoliday]

I know what millennial means. I just don't get what that has to do with anything.

I'm insinuating that I'm young and that there's something to be said for injecting some youth in the proceedings. This is professional basketball... a sport most men are incapable of playing past the age of 40. So it's kind of nice to have someone on that side of the age spectrum analyzing the game.

 

[The Professional Fan]

Mo Harless, Mo Problems. Rice couldn't have pulled that off but god damn I'd die if he had tried. No disrespect to Hurd, he's good. Rice was just.....reaction worthy. He cracked me up regularly. Going to miss him
